Sign out by going to your account settings
To sign out of Disney Plus on a Roku device, open the Disney Plus app, scroll to the top of the screen, and select your profile icon. From there, choose "Settings," then scroll down and select "Sign Out." The app will return you to the login screen, and your account will no longer be active on that Roku device.
This process works the same way on all Roku models — the Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Ultra, and Roku TV sets all use the same menu structure. The only difference is how you navigate to the app itself, but once Disney Plus is open, the sign-out steps are identical.
After you sign out, anyone who picks up the remote will see the login screen instead of your account. They cannot watch shows or movies, access your watch history, or see your profile without signing in again.
Key Takeaways
- Open Disney Plus, select your profile icon at the top, choose Settings, and then select Sign Out to remove your account from the device.
- Signing out clears your profile from the Roku device but does not cancel your Disney Plus subscription or delete your account.
- If you forget to sign out before selling or giving away your Roku, you can sign out remotely through your Disney Plus account on a web browser or phone.
- Signing out is different from uninstalling the app — signing out keeps the app on your device but removes your login, while uninstalling removes the entire app.
What happens to your account after you sign out
Signing out of Disney Plus on your Roku does not cancel your subscription. Your account remains active, and you can still watch on other devices — your phone, tablet, computer, or another Roku. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings stay in your Disney Plus account and will appear the same way when you sign back in on any device.
The only thing that changes is that this specific Roku device no longer has access to your account. If someone else in your household wants to watch Disney Plus on that Roku, they can sign in with their own account instead.
Sign out remotely if you cannot access the device
If you no longer have the Roku in front of you — because you sold it, gave it away, or it is in another location — you can still sign out remotely. Go to the Disney Plus website on a computer or phone, sign in to your account, and look for a "Devices" or "Manage Devices" section in your account settings. From there, you can select the Roku device and choose to sign out or remove it.
The exact location of this option varies slightly depending on whether you are using the Disney Plus website or the mobile app, but it is always in the account settings area. Look for language about "active devices" or "devices where you are signed in." Once you find it, select the Roku and choose the option to sign out or disconnect.
This remote sign-out is useful if you forgot to sign out before returning a device or if you are concerned about an old device still having access to your account.
The difference between signing out and uninstalling
Signing out removes your account from the app but leaves the Disney Plus app itself on your Roku. The app icon stays on your home screen, and anyone can open it and sign in with a different account.
Uninstalling the app removes the entire process from your Roku, including the app icon. If someone wants to watch Disney Plus later, they would have to read the app again from the Roku Channel Store. Uninstalling is more thorough if you want to completely remove Disney Plus from the device, but it is not necessary if you just want to remove your account.
Most people sign out rather than uninstall, because signing out is faster and leaves the option open for someone else to sign in without having to read the app again.
Troubleshooting if the sign-out option does not appear
If you cannot find the sign-out option in your Disney Plus settings, the app may need an update. Go to the Roku home screen, highlight the Disney Plus app, press the star button on your remote, and select "Check for updates." If an update is available, install it and try again.
If the app is already up to date and the sign-out option still does not appear, try closing the app completely and reopening it. Press the home button on your Roku remote, then go back into Disney Plus. Sometimes the menu does not load properly on the first try.
If neither of those steps works, you can uninstall and reinstall the app. Go to your Roku home screen, highlight Disney Plus, press the star button, and select "Remove channel." Then go to the Roku Channel Store, search for Disney Plus, and select "Add channel" to reinstall it. After reinstalling, you can sign in fresh with your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does signing out of Disney Plus on Roku cancel my subscription?
No. Signing out only removes your account from that specific Roku device. Your subscription stays active, and you can still watch on other devices. You can sign back into that same Roku anytime with your account information.
Can I sign out of Disney Plus on Roku without a remote?
You cannot navigate the Roku menu without a remote, but you can sign out remotely through the Disney Plus website or mobile app. Go to your account settings, find the devices section, and select the Roku to sign out from there.
What if I share my Roku with family members?
Each family member can have their own Disney Plus account and sign in separately on the same Roku. When one person signs out, the next person can sign in with their own account. You do not have to share a single login.
Will signing out delete my watch history?
No. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings are stored in your Disney Plus account, not on the Roku device. They will be there when you sign back in on any device.
How long does it take to sign out?
Signing out takes less than a minute. Once you select "Sign Out" from the settings menu, the app returns to the login screen when ready, and the process is complete.
